Adjusted EBITDA recorded a loss of $1.2bn, a huge drop from a profit of $3.2bn the last year. StarWorld Macau earned $0.1 bn, with adjusted EBITDA at negative $0.3bn.

The results recorded a drop in numbers compared to Q1 2020, likely attributable to the global lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
